2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE AN OCCUPANT AND DOES NOT DEACTIVATE IF THE SENSOR IS MADE. THE CAR LEAKS WATER DURING RAIN STORMS PROFUSELY FROM DRAIN LINES CONNECTED TO THE BODY WORK UNDER THE HEADLINER. THE LINES BECOME DISCONNECTED AT THE JOINTS DUE TO POOR DESIGN. WATER LEAKS ONTO THE SEATBELTS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE FLOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT BECOMES WET AS WELL. IN THE PAST THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AFTERMARKET SEAT UPGRADES IN THIS CAR THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAUSE THIS FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE WATER LEAKING CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE HEADLINER AS WELL AS IT CAUSES MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET DUE TO THE WATER BECOMING STAGNANT. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS MANY DOCUMENTED DESIGN FAULTS THAT WOULD CAUSE WATER INTRUSION SUCH AS POOR AIR CONDITIONING DRAINAGE CAUSES WATER TO BACK UP INSIDE THE CAR. AS WELL AS LEAKING FROM POOR SUNROOF SEALING. THE VEHICLE LEAKS PRIMARILY WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IN MOVING AND WHEN PARK IS ENGAGED.

STARTED SMELLING LOUD GAS FUMES FOUND OUT IT IS A GAS TANK LEAK WAS TOLD A RECALL WAS ISSUED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6 SERIES DEALER GM NOT AWARE IS THERE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

IVE HAD ALIGNMENTS DONE BUT THE CAR STILL PULLS TO ONE SIDE. DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT OR ALIGN WITH STEERING WHEEL. TO DRIVE STRAIGHT MY STEERING WHEEL MUST BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT. IT ALWAYS PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN JERK WHILE DRIVING. PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL BE OFF WHEN PASSENGER IS IN SEAT, AND THEN SOMETIMES WILL BE ON WHEN NOONE IS IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANES VEEY EASILY EVEN WITH NEW TIRES ON.

MY STEERING WHEEL KEEPS LOCKING UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. ITS BEEN DOING THIS BUT IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL START BACK WORKING. NOW ITS LOCKING UP ABOUT EVERY 5-10 MIN. MY AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. MY WINDOWS DO NOT WORK AND ALL OF MY CAR LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING ALSO SPEED CONTROL SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF , NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK WHEN SOMEONE TOLD ME I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHICH I DON'T.

I OWN A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WELL, THE DOOR SAYS IT'S A 2009, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES BACK AS A 2010. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SAYS GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 2010'S AS WELL, YET THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS A RECALL ON MY GM VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE JUST ISN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE END OF 2009, SO IT'S CONSIDERED A 2010. THAT IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010. THIS ISN'T SOME SILLY LITTLE THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT. THIS IS MY STEERING. I COULD CRASH AND DIE BECAUSE THEY WON'T EXPAND THE RECALL. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS SEEN AND SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS. IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. GM MESSED UP AND SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES.

HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT. POOR CONNECTION, BURNING/MELTED HEADLIGHT SOCKET, HEADLIGHT CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. ACTIONS TAKEN, I DIDN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL. BURNT SOCKET LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE HARNESS WASN'T ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE AMPERAGE. I REPLACED THE WIRES RUNNING TO HEADLIGHTS WITH A LARGER GAUGE. REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR. ALL HAS BEEN WELL SINCE, GOING ON 3 YEARS NOW. ANOTHER WIRING ISSUE IS THE INJECTOR/CAN SENSOR HARNESS. IF THIS BECOMES LOOSE IN ANY WAY THE CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, POOR FUEL, LOW IDLE, OR STALLING. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH I HAD NO FAULTS OR CEL. I THOUGHT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS ABOUT TO SNAP. ALL THIS DUE TO A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT WIGGLED JUST A TAD LOOSE.

THE HEAD LIGHTS SOCKET BURN UP AND MELT. LEAVES ME WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BUT IT IT NOT.
